Remember Forgeline announcing their Carbon+Forged wheels last week? Well, they are going to cost you $4k per wheel. Ok, to be accurate a 20 inch wheel starts at $3850 but you might as well round up. A set of these after taxes, tires, and mounting is going to run almost $20k.

The 2016 Formula 1 season was not exciting for some. Why? Because it was a foregone conclusion that Mercedes would win and their drivers would finish 1-2. The 2017 season is expected to be more competitive. Here is the list of changes taking place.

You're here because you love horsepower. Going fast is what we're about. There is going fast and being reckless however. 300+ kph (over 186 miles per hour) on public streets and in a turn while dodging traffic easily qualifies as reckless.

If you're saying to yourself that this is sexist you clearly are on the wrong website. This is brilliant. It is a fact that women are inferior to drivers to men. Sure, some feminist out there will point out that women are safer drivers but that's because nobody is in a hurry to get to the dry cleaners or gynecologist.

You know how we're told red light cameras are for our own safety? Well, they aren't. The truth of the matter is red light cameras are a huge business and they are forced on us to create a revenue stream. If it really was about saving lives why are private companies bribing politicians to get them installed?

It seems fitting that the Germans should kill off the internal combustion engine considering that it was German Nikolaus Otto that created the foundation for what would become the modern four-stroke engine. You likely know that is where the term Otto Cycle comes from.

All good things must come to an end but fret not driving enthusiasts! Arguably the best all around enthusiast tire on the market is getting even better. Say goodbye to the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and hello to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S. Michelin seems to be borrowing their naming from Porsche (though notice the 4 and S are separated).

With MotorTrend wrapping up their Best Driver's Car 2016 competition having all the cars together provides for a great opportunity to do a big drag race. They have been doing this every year for the past six years following the competition and who can blame them for the extra content?
...

That is according to MotorTrend of course. After the testing of the lap times at Laguna Seca and the subjective impressions were factored in McLaren's 570S came out on top. The BMW F82 M4 GTS on the other hand finished second to last and we can officially call the car a failure at this point.
...

There is no stopping the Viper ACR. It is a track animal bent on destroying whatever dares come across its path. The M4 GTS? The Shelby GT350R? The Porsche 911 Carrera S? The new Acura NSX? The McLaren 570S? All simply lambs led to the slaughter.
...

This is just a quick street pull between two people who don't know what they're talking about. If you can ignore the banter what it shows is that the M4 is the much faster car. We already knew this way back in 2014 but real world results are nice to have.
